This 19th-century anonymous drawing depicts a design for a chandelier. The design is intricate, featuring a central, circular frame from which multiple arms extend, each ending in a candle holder. The chandelier is adorned with a decorative pattern of interwoven rings and a detailed tassel-like fringe. The detailed design highlights the craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities of the time, showcasing a fascination with elaborate, ornate objects. The design, while seemingly simple in its execution, would have been a complex project in reality.
